The blood of his body recoiled before it. The blood was alive, like the dog, and like the dog, it wanted to hide away and cover

itself up from the fearful cold. So long as he walked four miles an hour, he pumped that blood, willy-nilly, to the surface; but now it ebbed away and sank down into the recesses of his body. The extremities were the first to feel its absence.
–“To Build a Fire,”
Jack London

marysya [2.9K]

Answer: not living things

Explanation:

Viruses are not living things. Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things
